The original and most highly rated plane tracking app. 

Our Plane Finder apps have been featured on Gizmodo, CNN, GMA, Sunday Times, Mail on Sunday, CNET, GQ Magazine and many more.

Don’t take our word for it – check out our ratings and the wide range of positive press we’ve had across the world. 

Plane Finder provides near real time “virtual radar” air traffic radar maps. It’s easy to use and is an amazing app for anyone interested in aviation, planes, flights or air traffic control. It’s also great if you simply want to know what’s up there or want to see your friends and family in the air. 

Features include: 

Live moving planes 
Flight path contrails 
Beautifully detailed aircraft illustrations 
Flight information such as - flight number, route, altitude, speed, plane type, airline 
Technical information such as – squawk codes, ICAO/IATA codes, ADS Hexcode, heading 

Plane Finder works by picking up ADS-B plane feeds used by all commercial planes to transmit their name, position, destination and lots more. This technology is actually faster than radar and is used in some places for air traffic control and navigation. 

Our global coverage is unrivalled and expanding all of the time, please check www.planefinder.net regularly for current coverage. 

Pinkfroot are committed to customer service and continually improve our Plane Finder apps based on feedback. Follow us on twitter @pinkfroot, and join our online community at www.pinkfroot.com If you have any questions please email support@pinkfroot.com and we’ll be happy to help.

    Reasonable app but needs to incorporate filters for aircraft type etc. Also aircraft icons need to be different sizes to allow you to distinguish between narrow/wide body and 2/4 engines on the map.

    A great app for seeing which plane is flying overhead and where it's going to or coming from. Lots of other info is provided and it works pretty well - sometimes a little slow with updates but that may just be my mobile connection. The one thing that'd improve this app is support for screen orientation changes to landscape and not just permanent portrait mode.

    Good, but doesn't give live flight information from airports in the windows version

    Good app. Could do with destination info, and the ar feature would make it so much better.

    Nice looking app and must faster to update and load than flightradar24. Has a couple of minor problems, it's difficult to tell which plane you have selected and sometimes the plane's tracks are messed up. Other than that good app.
